BFM
Bus Functional Model
coroutine function
The definition of a function that, when called, returns a coroutine object.
Implemented using :keyword:`async` functions.
See also the :term:`Python glossary <python:coroutine function>`.
coroutine
The result of calling a :term:`coroutine function`.

:keyword:`await` on them which blocks the awaiting coroutine until it is finished;
or turn them into a :term:`task`, which can be run concurrently.
See also the :term:`Python glossary <python:coroutine>`.
